Check out the latest photo release from the set. Looks great! http://comicbook.com/2017/01/16/new-marvels-the-defenders-image-released-by-netflix/1 (http://comicbook.com/2017/01/16/new-marvels-the-defenders-image-released-by-netflix/1) Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on January 16, 2017, 05:55:42 PM So super cool!!
Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Perry on May 03, 2017, 02:03:22 PM As bad, as horrible as Iron Fist was (I still have the taste in my mouth) I am super psyched for the Defenders
Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on May 06, 2017, 06:09:59 PM What a weird use for a Nirvana song.
Maybe this can make me like Danny Rand. We'll see about Jessica, because man, she ain't no apple pie girl either. Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on May 06, 2017, 07:02:34 PM Sigourney Weaver? Cool!
Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 03:33:51 PM Episode 1
Oh man oh man oh man! Great start. I decided to finish Iron Fist later and go ahead and start this. Soooooo glad I did. Jessica Jones, Like Cage, Danny Rand, Matt Murdock, Misty Knight, Night Nurse, Patsy Walker (Trish), Foggy Nelson, Karen Paige, Colleen Wing, that druggy guy that lives next to Jessica (Malcolm). Thy are all here. Jessica and Luke steal the show for me. Jessica's smart assiness is awesome. One of my favorite scenes: Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 04:46:18 PM Episode 2
:o :o :o And that ending! Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 05:47:55 PM Episode 3
I'm sold. Three back to back great episodes. It all starts to come together in this episode. There is occasional cheesey dialogue that you'll roll your eyes on but it's very rare. Moments of cool: Sigourney Weaver's good too as Alexandra. Is this a character from the comics I'm not aware of? Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on August 19, 2017, 06:22:22 PM Almost done with ep 1!!!!
Man I missed Luke. So glad to see Matt again. Jessica? Man, you hard b****h, but it's good to see you too. OH. Hey, Danny....how you doing..... :-\ Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on August 19, 2017, 06:40:02 PM Episode 1 Oh man oh man oh man! Great start. I decided to finish Iron Fist later and go ahead and start this. Soooooo glad I did. Jessica Jones, Like Cage, Danny Rand, Matt Murdock, Misty Knight, Night Nurse, Patsy Walker (Trish), Foggy Nelson, Karen Paige, Colleen Wing, that druggy guy that lives next to Jessica (Malcolm). Thy are all here. Jessica and Luke steal the show for me. Jessica's smart assiness is awesome. One of my favorite scenes: On board with said here. I still feel that the actor for IF is, well, weak. Poor. He emotes words, but doesn't pass the sensation off. Now, I didn't care for how Foggy and Karen were the first 3 eps of DD, and I really came around on them. So, here's hoping he wins me over. Luke was his pure awesomeness. Just love it. Jessica, even though I could rarely personally care for her, was her best, typical self. Which means it was done well by her. Matt....Matt was good. Very, very good. Misty Knight? Pure awesomeness. Karen was sweet and beautiful-souled Karen. Foggy made his presence known, in typical Foggy fashion. I even liked seeing Trish again! Glad to see Macolm cleaned up too!! A very well crafted, and well woven episode. Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 06:56:49 PM Episode 4
Ah. The obligatory "here's the explanation for what's going on" episode. Not a lot of action but a lot of information. I had a couple issues with this episode. But they made up for it with... So far the weakest episode but necessary to get the exposition over with. Now we can just move forward. Let the battle begin! Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 07:07:25 PM 5 minutes into episode 5
I LOVE THIS SHOW, Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 07:51:47 PM Episode 5
Starts off with a bang and then slows down. Still a lot going on in this episode. Highlights for me: On to episode 6.... Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on August 19, 2017, 07:52:48 PM Episode 2
More of the same-meaning great character building and weaving in and out of stories!! Also agreed: Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on August 19, 2017, 07:55:40 PM Jeff, it's fun to try and chase you down with eps, but my guy might allow me to see this 3rd ep before waking from nap, but man, I think tomorrow I can get a bunch more done!
Also, maybe it's just me with my tv, but man, the sound leveling from Netflix when I'm watching, it's just awful. 100% beyond max sound with all action, and then everything just mumbles and talks under their breath and I can't hear shit. Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 07:56:13 PM 5 minutes into Episode 6......
.....and Jimmy will now LOVE Jessica Jones. Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on August 19, 2017, 07:56:48 PM Episode 3
Starting off... Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 07:57:47 PM Also, maybe it's just me with my tv, but man, the sound leveling from Netflix when I'm watching, it's just awful. 100% beyond max sound with all action, and then everything just mumbles and talks under their breath and I can't hear shit. It's not your TV. Same thing on my iPad. It's pretty annoying. :-X Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on August 19, 2017, 07:58:39 PM I also always pronounced K'un L'un as 'gun-goon', not 'gun-gun', but that's just me.
Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 07:58:52 PM Episode 3 Starting off... Oh yes! Yes you did see that right! :o Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on August 19, 2017, 07:59:32 PM Also, maybe it's just me with my tv, but man, the sound leveling from Netflix when I'm watching, it's just awful. 100% beyond max sound with all action, and then everything just mumbles and talks under their breath and I can't hear shit.

Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on August 19, 2017, 08:02:37 PM Boy, these cinematographers love spinning profile shots!
Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on August 19, 2017, 08:30:43 PM Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on August 19, 2017, 08:36:22 PM Episode 4
Okay that first 15 minutes of this episode is wonderful dialogue and interaction! Loved it! Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 08:48:21 PM Episode 6
Holy crap!!!!!! Wait until you see the ending of this one Jimmy. Wow. Highlights: Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Perry on August 19, 2017, 09:13:21 PM I finally got past the first episode. Man that was a struggle ONLY because of the way they decided to make Danny such a whiny little ass in his show and that stuff had to carry over here to make it flow. Man I hate that crap. HATE IT.
>:( Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 09:34:01 PM Episode 7
More good fights. And the build up for the finale. Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 09:35:06 PM I finally got past the first episode. Man that was a struggle ONLY because of the way they decided to make Danny such a whiny little ass in his show and that stuff had to carry over here to make it flow. Man I hate that crap. HATE IT. >:( You gotta let that go my friend. Don't let it ruin your experience on this one. ;) Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 19, 2017, 10:30:19 PM Episode 8
Done. Good series. It's not without its problems (and predictability) that I could nit pick on but they're so trivial in my mind I won't sully the experience. I LOVED this series. And I can't believe I was the first to finish this! That has to be a Herorealm first! ;D :D :D I'll wait for everyone else to finish before discussing further. Plus after 8 hours I need a break and the family wants food. :D Overall I'll give it an 8.5 to 9 shots of whiskey. Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on August 20, 2017, 03:34:26 PM And I can't believe I was the first to finish this! That has to be a Herorealm first! ;D :D :D No kidding!! Did you Ferris Bueller your family and avoid some family road trip to great-great-grandma's and stay home and watch Defenders with nachos all day? Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Mitch on August 21, 2017, 02:04:17 PM Almost done with ep 1!!!! Man I missed Luke. So glad to see Matt again. Jessica? Man, you hard b****h, but it's good to see you too. OH. Hey, Danny....how you doing..... :-\ :D :D :D Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 21, 2017, 07:04:50 PM Anyone make anymore progress?
Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Perry on August 21, 2017, 07:13:17 PM I'm past episode 2, but now I am going to start over as the wife says she wants to watch.
Oh joy, I get to see early episode crybaby Danny again. ::) Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on August 21, 2017, 08:10:23 PM I did finish ep5....i think. Child didn't give me as much free time Sunday. It's got me inspired to get going more on that Jo Duffy work
Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Perry on August 23, 2017, 09:23:16 AM Well, I am done once more with episodes one and two. Me and the Mrs. will be hitting episode three sometime or another. If I don't at least finish three first, as I was only about 10 minutes from being done with that when the wife decided she wanted to watch.
:-\ :) Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on August 23, 2017, 02:22:55 PM Now I know how you guys feel when I take forever to watch something.
It's.....killing......me........ ;D Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Perry on August 23, 2017, 06:32:38 PM Yeah ... Good.
Feel it, man, feel what you put us through!!! ;D Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Wringer on August 24, 2017, 11:08:07 PM i finished up to 7 last night. i actually just finished Cage over the weekend and jumped right into this, skipping IF for now.
this series has been a lot of fun. i have enjoyed all the other series but this one has me grinning like a kid at Christmas (or in my case Hanukkah :) ). Very similar to the feeling i had when i saw IM for the 1st time...just really enjoyed and had fun watching it unfold. lots of good character interaction...loved seeing Matt and Jess get along while investigating the architect. definately was not expecting the end of ep 6...just good stuff 2 more to go tonight....only thing that sucks is its only 8eps...i could use another 5 :) Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on September 09, 2017, 08:46:15 PM Ep 5, finally!!!
Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on September 09, 2017, 08:55:00 PM 5 minutes into Episode 6...... .....and Jimmy will now LOVE Jessica Jones. Damn right!! LOL The beginning of this ep is...stupid/confusing. Their 'plan' is a rightfully forced angle that splinters, not joins. Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on September 09, 2017, 09:41:11 PM Episode 6 Holy crap!!!!!! Wait until you see the ending of this one Jimmy. Wow. Highlights: You are right; holy crap!! Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Perry on September 09, 2017, 10:23:44 PM Made it through.
Was/Am happy this was not a full 13 episode run Was/Am sad that it was even 8 ... this could have been a two or maybe three hour movie. Tons of filler with tons of phony "standing around" fighting. Just tons of guys waiting to be hit, tossed or kicked. Man I hate that. Makes everything look like television in the 80's >:( Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on September 10, 2017, 01:24:43 PM Guesses on the final ep (I'm obviously through ep 6)
Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on September 15, 2017, 01:05:32 AM Ep 7
-Great weaving of all the characters from all the series spinning and dancing in, around, and through each others' lives. That's good stuff right there. -Loved Foggy's line For the ep itself Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jeff on September 15, 2017, 12:51:02 PM I'm dieing to tell you if your right or wrong on you guesses for the ending but I'll wait. You'll find out on the next episode. ;D
Title: Re: The Defenders - Season 1 Post by: Jimmy T on September 22, 2017, 03:15:56 AM Ep 8 FINISHED!!!!!
A show certainly with it's warts-but some damned awesome moments too I really am so glad this got made. I'm so glad to have watched it. I'm so glad that this was able to happen! On to Punisher!!! |
